GFI Archiver is continually creating empty Microsoft SQL Server databases and Archive Stores

Answer

PROBLEM

GFI Archiver continually creates empty Microsoft SQL databases and Archive Stores, if the free disk space on the Microsoft SQL Server runs below 1.1GB.

ENVIRONMENT

  • GFI Archiver 
  • Using Microsoft SQL Server based archive stores (with or without file storage)

SOLUTION

Ensure that sufficient disk space is available on the drive where these Microsoft SQL databases are stored.

CAUSE

GFI Archiver creates a Microsoft SQL database in multiple steps. After the first step, the database is small in size (a few MB only). In the next step the database size is increased to 1 GB for the MDF file and 100 MB for the LDF file. This step fails if the disk on which the Microsoft SQL Server databases are created on has less than 1.1 GB free disk space available.
